As a teen girl this was so encouraging. its so hard to live in a society where trends are crop tops and short shorts. I am the only one I know who still wears a one piece swimsuit and have been struggling with wanting to fit in but feeling convicted at the same time. this was an encouragement to me and hopefully more girls who are also struggling like me.

A lot of girls my age promote dressing immodestly to go against men, but like honestly I dress modestly because it makes me comfortable knowing that I’m pleasing God and not causing men to struggle even more than they have to. Of course guys need self control but we should work together with them to the best of our ability. Also I feel like when people wear more revealing clothes, it’s to attract the attention of others even if the intent is body positivity. I’m comfortable enough in my body to not feel like I have to prove to others that I am confident in it. Also ladies keep in mind that modesty varies from woman to woman. What my sister wears might be modest on her but when I wear it it becomes immodest, so that’s another thing to keep in mind.

God had just revealed to me that the lust I had was from me not knowing my true worth and thinking I needed that attention to feel beautiful. God really just kept reminding me of how beautiful I am and that attention is really worthless because looks don’t last and lust doesn’t satisfy. Great video, I love that you talked about this because a lot of people need it.

This is gold ladies- when you advertise that your sexuality is the best thing about you, you will attract all the wrong “buyers”. Save yourself years of heartache and live in a way that attracts wholesome people to your life.

This was very eye opening, modesty starts in the heart and acknowledges community :)

Being modest is a beautiful thing, as a 18 year old young man, my friends(who are also in Christ) agree that there is nothing more attractive than a girl/woman who is wearing a non-sensual modest dress and/or something non-sexual, but it can really be anything that is not attention seeking like not wearing lipstick if you feel convicted to do so or not getting a certain hairdo, it may sound unromantic but there is something so pure about a woman who does not feel the need to showcase her body or who is not conformed to the way of the world but is instead changed by God’s renewal of her mind, so for any girls/woman who are modest, at just the right time a boy/man will be in your life and he will love you and encourage you, in such a way that you’ll be joyful that modesty was one of the ways that God has given you to glorify him. And the relationship will be 1000 times better if you were pure and waited for them, if you shared every bit of your intimacy with them alone. But even if you fall short, don’t be discouraged because God is a redeeming God who can use things planned for evil, for good. But this goes for guys as well, be as pure as possible making not practice of any sort of sensual or sexual immorality. But guys like my friend and I, who seek to acknowledge the Lord in all of our ways, who seek to cling to the wives of our youths and love them as we love ourselves, who have built their houses upon the rock of Christ, we are also the guys who will be patient, kind, loving, just, pure, lovely, humble, meek, and upright in all of our ways, and we will love you because Christ first loved us, we will love you because our love for you represents the love that God had for Israel and the love that Christ has for the church, and one of the reasons we would be with you would be because the first time we saw you, you were modest, you were pure. Seek after modesty in the hopes of not being a stumbling block to others(not to say that others aren’t responsible for their own actions even if there is a stumbling block) and seek after modesty to save guard your own purity. But also know that modest will attract those who have the same God-fearing mindset. So please never tire of doing good because we know that we serve a just God, who at just the right time will exalt you, and although guys like my friend and I are rare, so are girls like you, so we’ll find each other. 2 Corinthians 9:8- “And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things, at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work” Romans 8:28- “And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.”

I’m naturally curvy and it’s so hard to to find modest videos for my body type . I can be fully covered and still looked at . I know that God is proud knowing that I am trying. I’ll work more on my character than trying to figure out if what I wear is modest or not . It doesn’t matter how much i try to wear something modest , if my heart posture is not right .

I really appreciate this. Modesty is so much more than what people wear, it’s so much more than an amount of fabric. You can be immodest without any skin showing, you can be modest with more skin showing. And yes MODESTY IS NOT ONLY FOR GIRLS!! Thank you! Modesty is a mindset. The question you have to ask yourself is “am I glorifying God with this outfit, or is it getting in the way me glorifying God?” Not “am I showing to much skin?” Or “will people judge me for this?”

This morning I asked my husband what’s his favorite thing that I wear because I wanted to look nice for him on Father’s Day. He told me “I want you to wear your modesty. That’s my favorite”

You have no idea how important this is for us gen z kids to hear. I don't usually comment on videos but I felt the need to this time to support you and what you're doing. God bless man you're really moving an entire generation closer to Christ

I'm not a Christian, but this is a really clear and helpful definition of modesty that I never heard before. Thanks for sharing your insights.

you have helped me come over suicidal thoughts and lust Thank you and may God bless your family.AMEN

"Modesty is the hands that protects the flame of intimacy." Such a powerful principle. Lord help me to preserve my flame of sexual intimacy for my future wife. Forgive me if I my lack of moderation or boundaries may have been a stumbling block to your daughters in any form or fashion. Holy Spirit, grant me the wisdom and the discipline to not be excessive with my expressions or indulgent with my attractions. As I preserve myself I ask that You preserve my helpmate while were waiting to meet and Let my fire for the Lord be greater than any passion I have adopted from this world. In Jesus Name Amen

When you said that self-deprecating words are immodest, I felt that... This video is highly appreciated. I do find it interesting that modesty's essence can remain in any age and culture when clothing styles change. But I'm so thankful to God that we can always find modest clothing (and attitudes) no matter which era and culture we live in.

I feel like dressing more modest is something God is tugging at my heart for me to do. It’s just a little tricky when you are a plus size or very very curvy girl. Sometimes I wear things that wouldn’t be immodest but can look that way cuz of my body. I feel like I’m going to start embarking on a journey of what modesty looks like for my body type. I believe modesty looks very different depending on your gender and body type. Therefore, find what types of outfit works for you. Because I know if I do the whole loose clothes or layering clothes that would make me feel and look bulky. And normally those are the types of outfits I have seen in modest fashion videos. But just food for thought... we need more conversation of different types of ways to dress modest.

As a teenager, it can be discouraging to see the youth in this generation consumed with lust and immodesty, especially in my family, so this was really encouraging. The way you explained this was amazing, and I feel more equipped to help others who struggle with immodesty!!! Keep trusting in God, brothers and sisters and be encouraged (Philippians 2:1)

My parents taught me and my sisters to dress modestly. Modesty is attractive.

I want to share my testimony in hopes it'll help women like me. Throughout my childhood, I was invisible. I mean, almost none of my peers knew my name. Whenever I tried to say something in a group, people kept talking like they hadn't heard me, so I just stopped trying. I was labeled "the quiet one" by everyone who knew me, even my family. Once when I was about 8, I almost drowned in a pond at a BBQ, and no one even noticed. That childhood developed in me a deeply-rooted core fear of never being *seen* or *known.* Now, at 21, I'm a woman, and I "got my curves". I found I was blessed with a beautiful body; curvy hips and small waist, but I gain muscle really easily, so good muscular physique too. It was a major glow-up. All of a sudden, people noticed me -- and because of being invisible for so long, I didn't really care *why* they were noticing me, just that they were. It fed and satiated that fear of never being seen. I was raised Christian, so I've never gone full-out Kardashian-dress, skin-tight everything and miniskirts and stuff. But in the last few months, I *have* been wearing crop tops as a favorite and very flattering outfit. But God has been convicting me about it in just the last day or so, and your video helped even more! I knew deep down that I like wearing crop tops because I have a *nice* body, and I like feeling sexy and desirable, instead of invisible (especially to men; what girl isn't mortified by not even being given a single glance by *any men*?!) God has been showing me that wanting to be seen and desired are NOT BAD things... but my heart still isn't in the right place. *Your* video revealed another new thing to me: you pointed out that I'm not only causing MEN to stumble by being a tease with my clothing... I'm also making my fellow WOMEN stumble, because those who don't have the hourglass waist and abs that I do may fall into envy, which is just as bad! I had *never thought about that before.* If I wasn't convicted before, I am now. Sure, I like looking beautiful, but not at the detriment of literally *everyone* around me.

And oddly enough, there's a certain appeal to woman who dress modestly. Like there's something more to her than her clothes and figure

“Modest is hottest” - my wife

I teach my daughter how to dress modestly. She is 12. My girls will understand how much it means to the Lord to dress modestly. God bless you brother.

Only thing I want to be dripped out in is the blood of the Lamb ❤️

I have been asking God about this subject for a while now. And I get this notification :) God is so good he gave me the answers to the question that I have been seeking!!

I’m 25 and this is the first time I’ve received understanding of Modesty. I never learned in church, school, and my parents never really taught me. So thank you for bringing this word.

So I got saved by Christ over a year ago from my five year struggle with pornography and lust so I think that we have some similarities about fighting and facing pornography and lust so I probably just need prayers and tips for combating lust and thank you for your videos this was a good video God bless ✝️. :-).

I see that I crave to be lusted over I have more to give then my body. Thank you for helping the kingdom you’ve opened my eyes

As I look for summer outfits I’ll keep this in mind. Thank you!

I think it's a hard topic because this goes against a lot of our lifestyles and we don't like to be called out. Keep preaching the word brother!

This was DEFINITELY NOT done in vain. So good

I appreciate that you took a well-rounded approach to modesty not just applying it to women and young girls but to men and boys as well. Culturally modesty usually tends to lean towards the feminine side which causes a complete rejection of the topic.

I’ve been actively trying to stop looking at women, but the way they dress does actually make it difficult. My aim is self control, cause we can’t control other people or what they do. I’m pretty close to being totally free of having to look! Working on being okay with not being looked at by others lustfully, it was my main source of attention and “love” before Christ showed me real love. Thanks for the video!

Protecting each other’s intimacy/future inimacy, beautiful, totally agree. Also, yes, we don’t always realize that people can see our level of authenticity, which is majority internal, not just external.

i believe in "dress based on occasion" cuz we certainly cannot demand a person living in place with the highest temperature and tell them to cover themselves with sleeves or jacket. Same way as, if u swim with ur clothes (pants and shirt) cuz u will definitely look inappropriate, same way as dressing low skirts in a church where ure supposed to be formal. ykwim?? and immodest is not in wearing jewelries or looking rich or standing out. There's some people even if they wear just enough, bc of their presence they stand out. One more thing, even God wants us to look nice. Remember the book of Matthews, Jesus talked about how beautiful lilies are that not even solomon can look that glorious, how much more does God wants to clothe us better than lilies?? and even in heaven they wear gold and breastplates and definitely jewelries. But some religious will look at u as "not being humble" just bc u look good and its insane how Christians demonized most of the things these days.

"Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free" (John 8:32). ... Knowing the truth, then, is knowing God in some degree. Daily study and prayer to understand Him better are the best means to this end. He is and knows only good.

This was really helpful because I am a young singer who performs at a lot of different places, and one Element of performing is picking out an outfit. I’ve always struggled with this, because I’m blind, therefore I have to have visual aid when picking out clothing. When I tell people that I want to dress modestly fore a performance, they laugh at me, But this video has made me realize the importance of standing firm in what Scripture says about modesty. My body is a temple, and I want to represent the Lord and everything I do, that includes how I appear on the outside. I wonder if their viewpoint would change if I started talking about scripture when they pressure me into wearing revealing clothing.

This helped so much because I never really understood modesty and I always thought it was some sort of strict set of rule thanks Alex and glory be to God

As a young teen, I've been starting to question what's modest and what's not. This helps a lot, thank you.

I lowkey realized that I wanted to lose weight for the wrong motivations, just bcause I'm not secure with my actual appearance. I should definitely work on that, bcause that is another way of being immodest. Thank you for this video :)

Why was I just sorting my closet getting rid of my in modest clothes. God is always on time.

This guy is AMAZING thank you so much lord for having him send your message🙏❤️

As a Muslim girl I totally agree with you. May God bless you brother for spreading awareness 💕👏🏼

Right now, God is calling me to a season of singleness and I’ve since committed myself to Him during this time AND abstinence. So watching this has been EXTREMELY encouraging, empowering , and even energizing! Thank you for doing this even though it was a hard topic to cover! It is very appreciated!

As a Gen Z female I also think it’s important to know what you’re comfortable with. You can be modest and comfortable in shorts and a tank top and modest and comfortable in jeans and a sweater. It’s all based on your own personal feelings and convictions. ( i live in Florida so half the time I do leave when it’s not the few weeks out of the year when it’s under 80 I’m in shorts and a t shirt.) I also think it’s important to remember modesty is not just what you wear but how you act and behave as well as your thoughts and soul. Not just oh I can’t wear a tank top but it’s not modest but wear what you wear so that you’re pleasing God and not the world of other Christians to judge you. At great example would be the Duggars. The were told that the girls had to wear long skirts and have long hair so they wouldn’t distract the man, and the men had to look away when they passed a woman in less modest clothing ( to their standards). They weren’t taught to control their thoughts and desires because even with all the modest arrangements Josh ( the eldest son) still SA several of his siblings, a babysitter, cheated on his wife, had a porn addiction as well as his recent charges which are so horrible I don’t want to get into. All while representing Christians and family values.

Wow, I really appreciate this point of view! My mom raised me to be very modest but since her passing I've definitely gone through phases where I wasn't as modest. Looking back, I realized the times when I dressed the least modestly were the times when I felt the most insecure. It's like you said, that's just showing the world that's all we have to offer and that is scarily accurate of my mindset during my more immodest seasons, during which I was not only insecure about my body, but about my gifts, talents, and skills.

This is so powerful. When I was younger I was bullied for not being as pretty as other girls. My friends (at the time) always complemented my curvy body and told me I’ll be more attractive if I wore more ‘fitting’ clothes. I started doing that but I later realised that wearing immodest clothing was not making me more attractive, at least not to the right people. I started my modesty journey this year and I’ve never felt more free, comfortable and I’ve developed more self respect.

You describing modesty reminded me of my wife and just thought of how blessed I am. Thanks Alex :)

I am a Pastor and this was a breath of fresh air, keep up the good work, do the work of God and dont apologize

You really put it into a deeper perspective,by choosing to be modest I let people know I have more to offer than what’s on the outside.I need to draw people in by my Christ-Like life instead of my external features.

Your work in putting this together is timely, and exactly what we need today. The way you explained the immodest dress being one hand that comes off, “protecting the fire of intimacy” a book could be written on just that sentence. It’s such a beautiful expression of union between a husband and wife. Thank you.

I love how you explained and broke this down. This makes so much sense. And I like the point about how immodesty is not just about being practically naked. But also flaunting what you have - being fully dripped out, drawing attention to your looks or talent or money, etc.

Omg God is so good haha! Recently, I've been taking better care of my body and with that comes physical appearance alterations (such as a bit of weight loss). I'm feeling more confident and I'm grateful God has helped me along the way, however, I've been questioning if I should wear crop tops and all that jazz. I never have before and although I could now, I'm choosing not to. Before this small bit of weight loss, I knew I wanted to dress modestly (also to hide my body), but now, I want to dress modestly to respect both God and my future husband. I'm glad this was the very first video in my recommended. God always comes through, even in the little things like this. Thank you, God! And thank you, Alex. The messages you have to say are empowering and I love that they're backed up by scripture. Have an awesome day! I once heard "the closer you are to Christ, the farther you are from culture" and that can be very real, especially with the way we express ourselves in our culture.

I'm 19 years old, female. I've gone to a lot of classes on modesty throughout my years, and I've always enjoyed the discussion of finding the deeper meaning behind modesty. I think it's incredible important. I just what to say thank you for your time and effort into making this video, I felt very encourag watching it!

This is probably one of the most eye opening sermons on modesty and the best explanation of it, this talks about one of the most normalized sins of today’s day and age and it really opened my eyes on the topic!

I love how you dissected this topic. The Lord increases your wisdom.

Love this! Modesty doesn’t just mean clothing but what we have to offer and where we find our confidence

Bro, you've helped me grow so much in just 5 days it doesn't make since 😇 God is truly using you! 🙏🏾

Wise words brother, before, women would never think to be outside without a bra and now it's seen as empowerment. I hope as Christians we will uphold the standards of the word to set an example.

8:19 bruh I started cracking up when he transitioned into a full stretch haha awesome video though much love

I wish I could’ve heard you speak this exact message when I was a teenage girl. Modesty is so much bigger than in the way we dress. You’re a great messenger of the Lord, Alex. Thank you for all you do!

This was so deep and helpful ❤ i love how you said modesty protects intimacy, that was the powerful 🎉

This really blessed me! I’m going through a season of isolation and to know that this video confirms may of my thoughts and feelings is refreshing !

Love this!! Was literally talking to my friends about this, but they did not agree, I’m glad I stumbled upon this to be honest, it says so much. Thank you so much.

Being reminded that modesty is kind not only towards others, but also towards ourselves is very encouraging. Thanks :)

Hit the nail on the head with this one. God bless brother

I love what was pointed out about having so much more to offer than what we have on. Thank you so much

So true Fighting with all these struggles and I'm not alone, everyone's with each other.

To see a man talking about this encourages my heart greatly. The way you discuss this touchy topic reminds me that we can speak with gentleness and peace, knowing we are worth more than just our bodies. We live to please the Lord.

Amen, sir. Well done. A message we all need these days

Very well said “we have more to offer” and “we live in a community.”

📌Will you grab people's attention with hair and jewerly and sexy clothes or will your presence in the room be unmistakable because of your Christlike character? C'mon. Hallelujah ♡

When ever I watch your video I always learn something new, I never knew anything about MODESTY. But you made it understandable and something that’s very important to pay attention too Thank you 🙏🏾

Honestly, it can be hard not to overboard with a look that you love on yourself, but I like the way he says about helping others not to sin by, almost, leading by example 🧡🌸✨

Crazy how I was just thinking about this earlier scrolling through Instagram!

I’m a teenage boy and I did actually need to see this. I recently got out of p0rn addiction so sometimes when I see how certain girls and women are dressed or I see certain images online I can get “flashbacks” to past p0rn sessions. It can be pretty tough not to stumble and fantasize or objectify people, and for a while I’ve been internally getting mad at women who dress or act a certain way. I get angry because they make me fear that I’ll fall back into p0rn. Obviously, some women are actually immodest and ungodly, but others are perfectly fine and I was blaming them for no reason. Before I saw this video, I thought that lust could only be cause entirely by me or entirely by the person being lusted after. I think this helped me see a middle ground between the two. So this video really helped me sort out my thoughts on modesty and lust and all that, so thanks and God bless.

This is one of my favourite channels to follow! I've learned so much and still am learning. I'm so thankful to God that we have such platforms to connect with people virtually and be blessed by them and also be a blessing to them, even if you're from a totally different part of the world. Thank you Alex for your ministry, it's truly a blessing. I love the way you speak so openly and humbly and just as a friend. Your conversations are always seasoned with salt and full of grace! I love your whole family, even though I don't know you so well and I'll be praying for you. May many more people who hunger & thirst for righteousness, to be filled with the knowledge of the truth, be blessed by your ministry! Amen.

This was the most clear, transparent, and easy to understand video about this topic.

This was so helpful to me! I'm a newborn believer and I've been feeling called to change the way I dress but this is the first time I've heard someone explain modesty like this. I appreciate your channel, blessings to you and your family

So good pastor! Thank you for the more clear definition of modesty from a biblical view.🙌

What a refreshing message! It’s so important for us all to hear, especially those trying to raise up young women and men in a culture that misconstrues inappropriate dress for power.

so touched. so so touched by this. thank you for having the courage to speak about this. modesty is something i have both felt passionate about and struggled with as i long to be accepted many times. thank you for this encouragement

Sometimes, no matter how modestly you dress, men still lust...I used to shop in the boys section, and still got harrassed...I was 36-25-36, which...I hid so much...that when saw me in a dress, they gasped...some thought..I was fat and covering it up...

I’ve just entered a new season with a relationship with my friend and this video is such a fantastic reminder of what is and isn’t important in this relationship. Thank you very much, Alex.

I'm a former sex worker. Lately I've been feeling shameful of my past. I recently deleted all the photos on my social media that is inappropriate. It wasn't so much about myself it was I literally didn't want do seduce or influence or cast immoral thoughts on another person's mind. I'm changing the way I dress and carry myself. I really needed to hear this

Yes! I completely agree and my friend and I were talking about this the other day. One thing I really like that you said was that “We are not completely constricted to older cultures and what they wear, we are allowed to express ourselves but in a way that is healthy and humble” I grew up thinking that I had to dress more leaning to the older culture because my mom was very hard on us growing up with what we wore to church and our everyday lives sometimes. recently she has been showing me that I don’t need to be supper strick and that I don’t not need to dress like a little kid either but that I can dress nicely and more like my age but that I can’t be too revealing and to be mindful of what I wear, which is what she was been teaching me for almost 20 years now. I really related to that statement. Thanks for sharing with us

I’ve been wrestling with the definition of modesty recently, and then God puts this video as the first video on my timeline. God spoke through you directly to me and others, so all of your effort put into this video is definitely not wasted :) It was so informing and eye opening!

I agree with what Alex said. We can still be modest while wearing clothes that do t look bad. Thank you Jesus for using Alex to reach out to people

This answered a lot of questions and thoughts that I’ve been having! Thank you !!!

You put it so plainly and beautifully. Thank you for your videos !

I had a conversation with my sister and we realized that we can't name a person who doesn't wear shorts or mini shirts (i don't live in country with crazy high temperatures) . I thought i was too strict about that but after this video and after reading this comments I'm happy because i know I'm on the right path. THANKS to you all

My brother breaking it down 💪🏽

This was great! My 19 year old daughter shared this link with me. I’m so proud of my daughters and their desire to be modest.

I like to come back to watch is this maybe monthly, I myself want to be modest and at times a reminder. God bless you and increase you spiritually

Ain't we judging by what people choose to wear? Whether ppl dress modest or immodest?

Thank you alex, I’m kinda young so your words were kinda advance for me but the Holy Spirit took lead and helped me understand. I felt the spirit of God in my presence throughout the video so you did excellent🙏🏽. I love fashion if I have to be honest and I’ve never been the type of person to want to show off anything that appeals sexually. But I do love making outfits and getting noticed by how well I make the outfit. I don’t really think that’s a modest thing but it’s definitely prideful. This video taught me a lot. Being modest has never really been a problem for me, but what do I say to people around me who aren’t very modest with their appearance?

This is explained with so much love and anointing, be blessed brother keep bringing it we want more and our youth needs more. As a youth leader this is so strong for us to teach but many times it’s the last topic we want to touch. I’m motivated 🤗🙏🏽

Everything starts with the heart and intention. Thank you for this.

Modesty. What it IS: the hottest

It’s telling too that modesty in the Bible doesn’t really talk about women’s clothes. Women’s clothes are mentioned in the Bible in reference to showing off your wealth or position in life, not your sexuality. Modesty is presented as a position of the heart that is in tune with God. Modesty is the calling of all people who love God and who are ambassadors of Christ. It has everything to do with how you present yourself in your mannerisms, attitude, clothes, speech, jokes, etc etc etc. And there is nothing in the Bible depicting what modest clothing looks like, which makes sense, modesty is a position of your heart. Where your heart is with God will guide all aspects of your life (including the way you dress) and it’s something so personal that it doesn’t leave room for the judgement of others. God knows your heart position because He knows you, so you can’t let what others think about your clothes be your guide. Likewise, you cannot use what others wear to determine their relationship with God. To judge/take accountability for your own presentation is your responsibility as a Christian. But to judge or demand accountability for the presentation of others is outside of what God wants us to do (like when we decide what modesty is for someone else. Ex: shirt is too tight) It’s just so freeing to know that modesty is not a set a rules that we use to beat down each other with. It’s personal, a decision made between you and God that reflects your relationship with Him. It’s not able to be judged because no one else is a part of that decision.

Brother, this was such an encouraging word. So edifying and challenging.

Thank you, this taught me a lot about how to respect and honor the men in my life. How to present myself to them in a way that will edify both of us and not tempt to sin. Great job on this one, thanks again, God bless💞
